Cusco

A day for shopping in the market and doing laundry. We had wanted for some time to have a liquado for breakfast in the mercado so we did that today. The liquado has about 15 different fruits, honey and other natural ingredients. It was really good! Then we tried the quail eggs that are sold by vendors with little quail egg factories - a push cart with quails underneath, a boiler on top to cook the eggs, and salt, pepper and sauces - five eggs for 1 sole. We walked all over town and then stopped for lunch at a restaurant with balconies over the street. The specialty of the day was cuy - guinea pig. Tom had his roasted with potatoes and stuffed peppers. I had mine curried in yogurt sauce. They were both good but very messy to eat! We spent the rest of the day walking around town and bought 5 tuna (cactus fruit) for supper.
